Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005061949A2] The invention relates to a system and method for vaporizing a cryogenically stored fuel, particularly hydrogen, liquefied by cooling below the ambient temperature. The aim of the invention is to create a system and method for vaporizing a cryogenically stored fuel that is characterized by a having high inherent safety and offering advantages with regard to control engineering aspects. To this end, the invention provides a system (s1) for vaporizing a cryogenically stored fuel by using heat arising in the area of a fuel consumer (BK), comprising: a withdrawing line device (EL) for drawing fuel out of a tank device (T); a vaporizer device (VD) for vaporizing the fuel drawn via the withdrawing line (EL), while introducing the vaporization heat (QD); a gas line device (GL) for feeding the vaporized fuel to each consumer (BK); a heat transfer system provided in the vicinity of the consumer (BK) while serving to absorb heat arising in the vicinity of the consumer (BK), and; a fuel/heat exchanger device (27), through which a heat transfer fluid flows and which forms a part of the vaporizer device, for providing the vaporization heat (QD) via a heat flux (QV) drawn out of the heat transfer system. The coupling of the fuel/heat exchanger device (27) to the heat transfer system is effected via a forward section (VL) and a return section (RL) in such a manner that the throughput of the heat transfer fluid, which is required for introducing the vaporization heat (QD), through the fuel/heat exchanger device (27) can be set in a varying manner by the fluid throughput though the forward section (VL) and/or the return section (RL).
